RELIEF

Today was the first sunny day in ten days.  What a miserable week with all the rain, flooding, mud.  Everywhere you looked today, you saw clothes drying in the sun.  The tropical disturbance is finally gone and we are all very relieved.

Five minute windstorm

The menacing dark clouds were apparent for hours late this morning.  All of a sudden, the wind kicked up with hurricane force and came upon us from the southeast and then the southwest.  The rain followed.  I guestimate we lost at least ten percent of our banana crop in those few minutes.  It was quite dramatic!
